Welcome to May, 2022! Whether you celebrate it as May Day, (Northern Hemisphere)Beltane, (Southern Hemisphere)Samhain, or International Workers' Day, I wish you good weather for whatever activity you have planned.
Not too bad of a week; parts of it were excellent. Parts of it were crappy -- literally: the house on Whidbey Island had (and probably still has) plumbing problems, and needed to have its septic tank pumped. The excellent parts were a good practice session with m and N (m, who has had the most voice training, led us in a series of warm-up exercises), and (finally!) getting a new battery installed in Molly. You may remember that there's been a recall out on Chevrolet Bolts for the last year or two, with the ominous title "battery may explode".
In other news I determined by experimentation that I can charge Sable (and by extension other Thinkpad X230s) from a USB-C. There are two cable possibilities: a USB-C to Thinkpad barrel connector cable, and a regular USB-C cable with a Thinkpad adapter. The latter works with a 65W charger, as long as you use a 3-amp cable. The former requires a 100W charger. USB-C is weird -- cables know their current rating. But now I have a tiny USB-C wall wart (pimple?) to keep in my backpack instead of a heavier power brick. My back will appreciate that.
